Abstract：
SummaryThe adoption of robotic surgery has surged globally across multiple surgical specialties, but uptake in Canada has unfolded at a slower pace. Surgical educators and trainees in Canada face potential challenges related to sufficient exposure, experience, and competence in robotic surgical procedures. We conducted a cross-sectional national survey to gain insight into the perspectives of program directors overseeing general surgery residency and fellowship programs on the integration of robotic surgery into Canadian surgical training programs. Despite the presence of robotic surgery platforms at most academic and academic-affiliated hospitals, few trainees have exposure to any robotic surgery. Furthermore, a gap exists between the training provided in robotic surgery and its anticipated relevance to trainees upon graduation. Increased focus on the integration of robotic surgery within general surgical training in Canada is required to equip trainees for their careers.
摘要：
摘要机器人手术的采用在全球多个外科专业中激增，但是加拿大的吸收速度较慢。加拿大的外科教育者和受训人员面临着与充分暴露有关的潜在挑战，经验,和机器人外科手术的能力。我们进行了一项全国横断面调查，以深入了解监督普外科住院医师和研究金计划的计划负责人对将机器人手术纳入加拿大外科培训计划的看法。尽管大多数学术和学术附属医院都有机器人手术平台，很少有学员接触过任何机器人手术。此外，在机器人手术中提供的培训与毕业后对受训者的预期相关性之间存在差距。在加拿大，需要更多地关注机器人手术在普通外科培训中的整合，以装备学员的职业生涯。
